The Profile

Finnish folk metal band formed in 1997 in Helsinki, known for blending black/viking metal with Finnish humppa and for singing in Swedish.

Formed in 1997 by Teemu Raimoranta and J. Jämsen; lyrics are in Swedish. Guitarist Teemu Raimoranta died in 2003. Vocal duties shifted from Katla (health issues) to Tapio Wilska and later to Vreth. Keyboards/arrangements by Henri Sorvali (Trollhorn) are a signature element.

Reviews praise Finntroll’s blend of black/viking metal with Finnish humppa, celebrating both the riotous and melancholic sides. Nattfödd and Midnattens widunder earn special love, while Ur jordens djup is noted for a heavier, darker turn with Vreth on vocals. Visor om slutet stands out as a unique acoustic/folk detour. Tragedies (Somnium’s death, Katla’s health) and lineup shifts are acknowledged without dimming enthusiasm.
